Abstract

Hall effects on the MHD flow of an incompressible, electrically-conducting viscous fluid past an impulsively started infinite vertical porous plate has been analysed for the case of small magnetic Reynolds number. Exact solutions have been obtained for the axial and the transverse components of the velocity and the skin-friction by defining a complex velocity with the help of the Laplace transform technique. The velocity profiles are shown graphically and the numerical values of axial and transverse components of skin-friction are tabulated for different values of the dimensionless parameters occurring into the problem.
